Well Done Labour .

[gulliver1]

Rachel Reeves has appointed a Covid Corruption Commissioner,with the intent of clawing back billions in fraudulent Covid contacts..Let's hope she starts with Baroness Mone, then Matt Hancock and also the two very senior Tory ministers who sanctioned and allowed this pair to get these very very lucrative contracts.Go for it Labour.

YIPEEEEEEEÈEEEE YIPEEEEEEEEEÈE.

BANG EM UP BEHIND BARS. :0) :0) 

[gulliver1]

This Commissioner will also investigate where there has been fraud in other major Covid schemes, such as furlough, Business support grants ,eat out to help out, and Covid-era universal credit fraud.

YIPEEEEEEE

YIPEEEEEEE

Strip them of their assets, sorry OUR assets. Should help to fill the black hole to nearly the top.

[gulliver1]

These fraudsters thought they had got away with it ,after the  Tories had written all this fraud off just as they were turning off the lights as they left No 10 in a fleet of removal vans, last july ,, But now Labour having turned the lights back on when they entered No 10 have replaces those lights with spot lights ,,Go for it Labour .

Someone will be along shortly to bluewash this situation, possibly with a recommendation to draw a line under it and move on.

[jackthehat]

Good,

A sensible policy, at last.

[youngmafbog]

Sadly I suspect it will just end up as yet another expensive talking shop come quango.

Still, lets hope this does succeed.

[ToraToraTora]

Yes delighted they are doing this. If there was any corruption then it should be weeded out and prosecuted. Finally something we can agree on.

[gulliver1]

He is going to investigate one of the most lucrative Contracts ever .... Given to Michelle Mone and Husband and their so called business they named PPE Medro,worth £2OOm,after the long running investigation by the National Crime Agency under the Tory Leadership.

 

[ToraToraTora]

surely 1323 is a BA? no?

[youngmafbog]

Fine, but lets not focus on just one, plenty of others to also go after.

[ynnafymmi]

Perhaps while he is at it,Starmer could chase after the Chinese government who started this virus to begin with.

[newmodarmy]

Good news. I hope it proves more successful than stopping the boats/breaking the smuggling gangs, giving Britis people awell deserved payrise and going for growth. Is there a suggestion that the NCA has been stalling under Tory influence even under Labour since July? The only significant action I'm aware of by the NCA was when they froze her assets in January.

[newmodarmy]

I hope Rachel checked the new Commissioner's CV

[david small]

Hark....hear the scurrying of the trough rats as they practice their denial.

[Hymie]

I wonder if that slimy git, Gove is cacking his pants at the prospect of his involvement in this corruption becoming common knowledge.

A Treasury source says Rachel is going after this money she wants it back ..This money belongs to the British Taxpayer to help fund public services and help fill the black hole the Tory Crony Club left behind. Bring these members of the previous Govt to justice. Well done Rachel .Go for it Labour.

[gulliver1]

This new Chancellor believes the treasury can recoup £2.6bn from these Fraudsters. But of course non of these fraudsters will do any jail term  like joe public would.

[douglas9401]

I'll bet a shiny shilling that it costs twice as much as they recoup when it's all over and not a hint of corruption or jail time.

Same old story, needing to be seen to be doing something.
